[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2589434, member: 104363"] Show a top down picture. Check the orientation of the rings, front ring vs rear ring are in the right place. I usually use the lapping bar as an arbor to locate the rings. I use the top ring caps screwed down lightly and tighten the base screw (at least one of the two on each). Then remove the bar and lightly torque all base rings. Put the pointers back in and see if it's improved. If not, there isn't enough hole clearance in the base screws to help. You might run a straight edge to see if your tapped receiver screws are aligned. The Mauser family is different from each other in a lot of ways. If you can find rings that fit or fit better, you may consider bedding the bases, (or use a rail), just to eliminate future problems with these going out of alignment. [/QUOTE]
